The Wives of Western Philosophy examines the lives and experiences
of the wives and women associated with nine distinct political
thinkers-from Socrates to Marx-in order to explore the gendered
patterns of intellectual labor that permeate the foundations of
Western political thought. Organized chronologically and
representative of three eras in the history of political thought
(Ancient, Early Modern, and Modern), nine critical biographical
chapters explore the everyday acts of intellectual labor and
partnership involving these "wives of the canon." Taking seriously
their narratives as intimate partners reveals that wives have
labored in remarkable ways throughout the history of political
thought. In some cases, their labors mark the conceptual boundaries
of political life; in others, they serve as uncredited resources
for the production of political ideas. In all instances, however,
these wives and intimates are pushed to the margins of the history
of political thought. The Wives of Western Philosophy brings these
women to the center of scholarly interest. In so doing, it provides
new insights into the intellectual biographies of some of the most
famed men in political theory while also raising important
questions about the gendered politics of intellectual labor which
shape our receptions of canonical texts and thinkers, and which
sustain the academy even today.
